Representation theory and Algebraic Geometry'
Speaker: Ankit Rai
DDT: Thursday, 31st March, 2:30 – 3:45 pm
Venue : Ramanujan Hall, Department of mathematics.
Title : Tannakian categories and some applications.
Abstract : There is a classical result of Tannaka which provides a way to
reconstruct compact Lie groups from the category of its finite dimensional
representations. Later, Grothendieck and Saavedra developed the so-called
Tannakian formalism which allows for an extension of the above result in
the context of algebraic groups. In the two talks I shall give a short
introduction to Tannakian formalism and discuss a few applications.
